Putting a pair of inept villains in charge of them is her second. Goody, Vera from the orphanage and her sister Myrtle the landlady set off to rescue the prisoners with the help of Periwinkle the fairy. Add in a sprinkle of spirits, four lively children, and Alf the landlord and you`ve got a family pantomime with a difference. | |||||
